Spring is finally here, though it's seemed more like summer this week.Still better than the winter we've had. Nice to finally be able to get out and take pictures.And with warmer weather comes concerts, which is always welcome. I got tosee Jeff Mercel play this week at the BSP Lounge in Kingston. A great showfrom a local artist I hadn't known before. And I'm getting ready to gosee Louis Landon return to the Hudson Valley and play a show on hisbirthday. All of a sudden there's a bunch of concerts coming up. Iprobably won't make all of them, but I encourage it all the same. In thisday and age, concerts are an important way for musicians to connect withtheir audience.

And I'm starting to book interviews and performances on my show, too.Thanks to Nate of Team Love Records, I got to have local artists Arranged Marriage NPperform on my show in April. A strange brew of sitar and electric guitarmusic that sounded really good live. And coming up later in May is aperformance from local group Cumulus, a koto/flute duo. And in August, Iwelcome back guitarist Markus Reuter, along with guitarist Mark Wingfield.I'm always glad to see Markus return to the WVKR studio. If you're in thearea on a Sunday morning and want to stop by, drop me a line and we'llwork something out.

I've gotten some great new music lately, and I always appreciate it. Ifyou've got something new you'd like me to hear, just let me know. CD's are always appreciated,but downloads are fine and dandy as well. Whichever you prefer. There's afew of you out there that I haven't heard from in a while. If you suspectyou're one of those people, get in touch and we'll compare notes.
